True friendship is vital for attainment of set goals and aspirations

There are times in a man’s life when he comes to meet friends who stick closer than a brother. While some friends can be valuable companions who makes one achieve his or her potentials, develop needed skills, embrace love and deal with hatred and betrayal, others can be very toxic, full with hatred and jealousy, parasitic in nature and unappreciative.

"Man is made for man"

All in all, a person in his lifetime must meet one or more friends no matter how introverted they may be or become.

True friendship develop mutual bond for the attainment of set goals, aspirations, dreams and set objectives for individual self or both parties.

Joy springs from true friendship

Meeting a new person with same or likeable ideology can be exciting and intriguing. At first you get to each other by names and you exchange peasantries.

At this stage, someone cannot call that person a close friend, rather such a person can be called an acquaintance.

Many acquaintances can be cold at first, but a closer look or communication, it can be realized that he or she was just shy.

The bond of friendship continue as this develop into knowing more about each other if the first meeting develop into something positive. At this point, more knowledge of the acquaintance is unveiled or unravelled. This can be in aspect of knowing each other’s career, aspirations, goals, family, likes and dislikes and even friends and other dirty stuffs.

During this stage, it is fascinating to know that some friends can be life savers while some can be very toxic and parasitic in nature as stated above.

True friendship which is termed as mutual bond usually stem up from mutual co-operation, communication, goals, ideas and development of each other for individual growth and development.

When an acquaintance is finally developed as close friend, there is then the need to look out for each other.

It is usually opine by some persons that “Man is made for Man”. One may begin to wonder what this means in relation to true friendship as mutual bond. This means that true friendship entails looking out for each other and helping each other to achieve certain goals and aspirations.

True friendship is not a one-sided coin thing, it goes far more than parasitic relationship where only one person benefit and causes harm to the other person.

Mutual bond which stems out from true friendship develop from giving needed help to friends when they are in distress, pain, hardship, depressed and in any discomfort which may disturb their mental wellness or psychological wellbeing.

The very essence of friendship is to find succour or help when in a distress and also for companionship as man is made for man.

At this stage, it is fit and proper to examine and re-examine oneself Sincerely, whether or not one’s friendship have been that base on truth and fairness.

As earlier stated, friendship is not a one-sided coin thing. It goes far beyond this. A person who give his best and a helping hand to his friend who is in a state of discomfort should receive same hand of help from his friend when he is in such a similar situation.

A helping hand

It can now be seen that true friendship is a two-sided coin thing, where every positive act of a person towards his friend is reciprocated back and vice versa.

In a situation where infamous acts are displayed or meted out to another person in friendship, one is expected is expected to find out whether or not such a friend is a true friend indeed. If he is not, it is ideal to walk out of that friendship for such is not base on mutual bond.

In friendship between young persons of opposite gender. True friendship will result to mutual bond which will further lead to deep emotional feelings and towards each other base on mutual love and respect.

A toxic friend will let the candle burn over

Individuals such be mindful of the kind of friendship they keep. A toxic relationship or friendship where lack of love, hatred, disagreement and indifference is at play can be harmful to both parties or partners in a case of emotional relationship. A toxic friendship can be depressing and deadly, it may lead to loss of interest from positive things that formerly look fascinating. More so it can lead to withdrawal from one’s social circle and emotional and psychological pain. In as much as, such friendship did not stem from mutual bond, nothing positive can come out from it. So walking out of a toxic friendship is the best option as things can get worse when one choose to remain. More over, being in a friendship where there is lack of amity or love can only lead to hatred, suspension and fear of the unknown as things will only get worse when one choose to remain.

One should rather strive or seek to be in a true friendship where mutual bond is at play and personal development is encouraged by the other party or parties as the case may be for benefit of all.
